HOW ISLAM RELATES TO MANKIND?
Islam teaches that diversity among human beings is a
sign of God’s mercy and no one has superiority based on one’s color, language
or nationality.
Islam promotes the brotherhood of man, toleration of
one another, sympathy for the unfortunate and cooperation for general human
happiness. If there is any one religion in the world which has strove to
eliminate racism, it is Islam. There is no distinction between men on account
of mere birth in a particular family, particular profession, particular race or
particular country, and all human beings are equal. God created people of
different colors, nationalities, languages and ethnic origins so that we may
recognize one another.
In Islam, superiority is based on the love and fear of
God, doing good deeds, and maintaining high moral and spiritual qualities. In
many respects Islam has regulated the relationships between men regardless of
creeds, races or colors. One of the aims of Islam is to emphasize the oneness
of humanity as a whole and also the Oneness of the Creator of mankind and of
all beings. Islam pronounces loudly, clearly, and with great emphasis that all
people are, by nature, equal in all respects and that no one is better or
superior to anyone else except through piety.
